It seems that Cirdan was also older than Treebeard, for he was one of the first elves. He never went to Aman, but along with the Calaquendi and the Moriquendi he also awoke near lake Cuivienen in the beginning, or so the Silmarillion seems to point out.
In that way it seems that Treebeard was in no way eldest, except in his own race, the Onodrim.
greetings,
